The Power of 30

Time and time again we talk to ladies who tell  us they didn't eat during the day because they're going out tonight. They're trying to save up calories to be able to eat freely. Unfortunately it just doesn't work like that and this is one of those myths that's out in our society as if it's a gospel truth. The reality is this is the worst thing you could for any weight...

We're changing how you talk about "Healthy Eating", and if we change how you talk about it, we'll likely be able to change how you feel about it, and even how you do it! We know from the many, many conversations we have with our members that what people think about healthy eating, is likely a few miles off from the truth. We've been told what healthy eating looks like by p...

This week we give you an insight into Coach Sall's eating habits - and yes, that involves 3 digestives. You might be surprised by what she has to say about them, and the effect they can have on her eating throughout the day. After 15 years of working hard on her nutrition it's clearly still easy to slip up and have regrets. If you really want to know how to dodge the biscuit tin, the dou...

Snacking is a much maligned concept that, in actual fact can do wonders for your metabolism, your sense of well being, your energy levels, your sleep and your weight loss efforts. We are huge fans of snacking but it needs to be done wisely and that can be tricky. We get in to the whys and the wherefores to hopefully convince you, you need to establish a snacking habit. You can read more on our blo...

We thought we should get Part 2 out there as soon as possible because we're here to help people as much as we can. We realise these might not apply to you, but if they help you understand where others are coming from, you might be able to support and encourage them better. The first 5 things that stop people starting we spoke about last week were;  time, other commitments, a belief that exerc...

This is a part one because we only had time for 5 things, so there will be another 5 coming soon! We're here to help you see things differently, to offer as much experience as possible and we've worked with literally hundreds of women to get out of their own way and let exercise into their lives. The top 5 things that stop people from starting are; time, other commitments, a belief that...

This episode is all about food and mood, but not how you think. The fact is, eating nutritiously will put you in a good mood, help you sleep better, equip your body to deal with whatever life throws at you and keep you away from all the stuff you think you need will power to avoid. So many people are undernourished and don't even realise it, hungry and don't realise it and it's time...

"An assumed constraint is a belief you have, based on past experience that limits your current and future experiences" Ken Blanchard This is how elephants are kept in captivity, they're tied to a pole when they are young and unable to do anything about it. They learn they cannot escape the pole, so even when they are a fully grown 6 tonne elephant, they believe they can't pull...

Rewards can play an important part in motivation and especially in behaviour change. Despite understanding how they work Coach Sall has always struggled to implement them in her own life. Why? Do rewards really work? What do you use as rewards? Coach Dannii takes matters into her own hands to explain how rewards work and as usual they get deep into the processes, alternatives and ideas for rewards...

This week Coach Dannii puts Coach Sall on the spot with 10 of the most common questions you are all asking!

If you've got a questions then email us coaches@curvesilkeston.co.uk and we'll get on it! All the details...

This week your Curves Coaches get into the difference between mental and physical health, or rather, the fact that we need to treat them as one. While the symptoms of each may vary, they have a huge impact on each other with linked risk factors. We want to start leading with the benefits of exercise on your mental health because you will notice those almost immediately, giving you the encouragemen...

In this week's episode Coach Dannii and Coach Sall talk about the importance of rest, and the role it plays in Strengthening your body. Then we get to the real topic; quality down time and it's important in keeping you energised, recharged and your motivation renewed. To be quality downtime it MUST have an end, just as you can't exercise all day, you can't rest all day either....

We're starting a campaign.... to give compliments freely, accept them gracefully and encourage others to do the same. What do you say when someone gives you a compliment? "Thanks", or do you brush it off? Do you want to make excuses? Do you want to play it down? And more importantly why? Compliments are rarely given for any reason except that it's nice, it's reactionary, t...

I reckon most people don't even realise they're doing this, you're just trying really hard to get fit, lose weight, be happy etc etc. It just occurred to me the other day that everyone needs to chose one thing, and if that's the only thing you do but you do it well, then you will reap the rewards. This week I talk to Coach Dannii about what mutli-tasking your health and fitness...

We thought the topic of failure was such an important one we should talk about it again, and you can listen as we get REALLY REALLY excited! It's funny because when we have these conversations they aren't planned or rehearsed, and each one changes us, so sometimes, after the fact we find we have more to say. The thing is, when it comes to improving your health, fitness, your well being,...

This week's episode is in response to a couple of questions sent in by listeners; it's all about keeping motivated either when you don't have a weight loss goal, or when you have achieved your weight loss goal.
